The 404 Show: Worst Tech Ever (Flips Audio)
-Hey, what's up everyone?
We're the guys from The 404 Show.
We're trying out a new segment here.
We're gonna take a look at the latest and greatest, the world of tech has to offer.
-The first product we have for you today is from a company called Flips Audio.
And we also asked what the other CNET editors thought too, so let's check it out.
-These are Flips.
-All right.
-They're more than just headphones.
Flips have a secret.
-Put them on the way out.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-They're the only headphones that flip into powerful speakers.
-Oh, boy.
-I screw your neighbors--
-Hey.
-It must be doing terrible damage in your ears.
-That is so cool.
So cool, not my first [unk].
-That's too much hairstyling.
-That's amazing.
-There's nothing amazing about headphones that are inside and out.
-Now I'm hearing this guy's music.
-Someone's gonna get punched if they wear these.
-That was awesome.
-So these are real reactions of people.
-Uh-hmm.
But these aren't real
people though.
-It was like a concert or something.
-It's like a concert or something.
-I can't say anyone who would be like, "This is the product I was looking for.
I love headphones but they were never speakers."
-All right.
It was decent, I like that.
-Decent.
That guy's got it.
They're pretty decent.
-So now I'm a walking music machine?
-No, you're a walking pain in the ass.
-You don't need to have your headphones and your speakers separately.
Now they're just here.
-Now that's a horrible idea man.
-The sound is phenomenal.
-I think the people in
the video are the target on Hipsters that really don't know good sound.
-At flipsaudio.com.
-I think if we're raising a generation of audio files and you're gonna have really good audio quality and not gimmicks.
That's the big problem there.
